A Year of Photo Gifts

I remember when I got my first microwave years ago. I decided that the only way to learn how to use the microwave was to cook every meal for a week with it. Working with photo books and photo gifts is a lot like learning how to use that microwave. You have to just decide to do it and do it often. I have already used photo books a lot in the past for gifts:

• For a friend's birthday I made a travel book with pictures from a trip we took to China to visit a friend.
• Another friend received a photo book for her birthday of pictures from our 20+ years of knowing each other.
• My husband's cousin had a second wedding and they asked that there be no presents. We gathered pictures that everyone took at the wedding and made a photo album. Although they had a professional photographer this book highlighted the friends and family who were there.
